CHICAGO, Dm 31. The 1912 foot ball
ruleo will bo retained Intact by the na
tional commltteo when It meets In Now
Vork next week, according to a predic
tion by Coach A. A. Stagff of the Uni
versity of Chicago here today. Stagg,
who In a member of the old commltteo
now fused with tha representatives of the
National Collegiate Athletlo association,
"aid he doubted that a ulngle radical
change would bo miggested.
Stagg spoke of the probability of the
sarao being unmodified when discussing
the proceedings of the National Collegiate
Athletlo association last week In the east,
when the present game was Indorsed by
the rollegiato experts. He said tho
amalgamated body would be as much In
favor of a "standpat" policy as It was
urgent for a change a year ago.
Tho opinions of Stagg, Walter Camp of
Ynlo and Coaph J Tarry Williams of Min
nesota, all of whom have Indorsed the
current rules without qualification, are
thought 'to bo sufficient to guarantee that
tho modifications will .bo Insignificant.
Announcement of tho dato of the com
mttteo meeting has1 not been made, but
the gathering, In nil probability, will be
In Now Tork tho first part of January.
